Fisheries
Thriving fish populations are an indicator of healthy aquatic ecosystems. As such inland freshwater fisheries are afforded protection in various key pieces of UK legislation, including the Salmon & Freshwater Fisheries Act and the Water Framework Directive. Healthy fish populations can provide a valuable source of recreational amenity. Anglers spend a total of £2.75 billion each year on going fishing, providing a source of revenue to a wide variety of service and goods providers. Angling also makes a valuable contribution to UK society, being an accessible sport that can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities.
